IBM xSeries 135: User's Reference
Appliances are added to a Family based on the appliance type. Appliances
running different operating systems but performing the same function appear in
the same family.
The Tree View pane
The Tree View pane on the left side of the Advanced Appliance Configuration
Utility console window presents a list of all discovered appliances and includes
any families that you have previously defined. The Tree View pane also includes
groups for appliances that do not fit any of the defined families, that were not
configured using the Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility, or that have IP
addresses that conflict with other devices on your network. When you click any
item in the Tree View, information about that item (and any that are nested
below that item in the tree view), appears in the Information pane.
The Information pane
The Information pane at the right side of the Advanced Appliance
Configuration Utility console window displays information about the item that
is currently selected in the Tree View pane. The information that appears in the
Information pane varies depending on the item that is selected. For example, if
you select the All Appliances item from the Tree View pane, the Information
pane displays configuration information (IP settings, host name, serial number,
and so on) about all of the xSeries appliances that have been discovered by the
Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility console. However, if you select a
family, the Information pane displays information about the family settings for
the selected family.
